Has Before Noon been dropped by this point, as it's not in the menu. (Did Scotland never take it anyway, opting out for Gaelic programmes? I vaguely recall they did actually show it one morning, just because it was an OB from St. Andrews.)

That was from the first morning so maybe After Noon became Before Noon?

Didn't Scotland have something called Dotaman? No idea what it was but always saw it in some listings

After Noon was the umbrella title for various weekly shows, like Happy Memories with Cliff Michelmore (which was BBC Newcastle's contribution) and Rosemary Conley's Diet and Fitness Club. Before Noon was presumably so insubstantial they didn't bother promoting it.

Open university programmes were moved about one Sunday. However, were they altered during the week, especially the late night programme on bbc2

It's worth mentioning that the title of that video (or description) shouldn't be taken at face value - it's nonsense.

Indeed - a long running Gaelic children's show, featuring a man wearing silly hats. "That's except for viewers in Scotland" was an even more irritating thing to hear when you realised that the replacement programme was in a language you didn't understand rather than just a Paul Coia quiz show about hills or something.
